A/N: A shout out to Jennifer Baratta for her review. Thanks so much for reading!
Chapter 21
"So there is a copy of Supergirl flying around… that explains a lot…" Brainy said. Kara had explained what she'd encountered to Alex and J'onn and the redhead immediately put in a video call into Brainy once they reached the girls' hotel room.
"What do you mean Brainy?" Alex was not the only one confused.
"Reports have been filtering in of attacks on President Marsdin's political foes. Someone strong enough to rip doors off hinges and singe marks on walls has been assaulting Senators and Congress-people in their homes. Luckily, no one has been killed but I'm guessing that was done on purpose. After all, if that someone had the abilities to do what was done, killing would be all too easy," Brainy explained.
"You think my double wants it to look like intimidation so the opponents will agree with the President's proposed Alien Amnesty Act," Kara said.
"Oh most definitely. They could then charge that the President has an alien working for her who tried to kill them. Then there's this," the twelfth level intellect pulled up a video for them to see. A man wearing a golden mask and he was standing in front of an American flag.
"Aliens threaten our way of life! They take human jobs! They use resources meant for humans! And now the President wants to welcome them with open arms! Can we really say that our lives have been enriched by these creatures? Since Superman and Supergirl showed up – we've been nearly invaded by alien species! Not once! But twice! Well I say we take back what is ours and kick every single one of them off of this rock! This is our planet and no one is going to take it from us! Join the Children of Liberty and take back your lives friends. Help your friends and neighbors. Show those elected officials that no amnesty will be given to non-humans and send those extraterrestrials back to where they came from!"
"What the hell was that?" J'onn asked.
"This video interrupted television feeds all over the United States. CatCo. was used as well. James is looking into it but with Colonel Haley recalled to Washington, I worry that the DEO may soon become a no-fly zone," Brainy told them.
"When is the next plane coming to get us?" Alex wanted to know.
"The plane will be landing at the nearby military base in six hours. I would suggest you get some rest and then head over there to meet your flight," he said.
"I think J'onn and I should get back to National City. Things could get dicey out on the streets given the message that our masked friend put out. Plus I want to be visible so no one can say they saw me do something my evil twin did," Kara told them.
"As much as I agree with your assessment, if evil you finds out you're not dead, Alex and Mercy may be back on the list. Someone needs to stay with them until they safely arrive here in National City," Brainy pointed out.
"The best option is for me to remain then. I can transform into an agent and no one will realize a thing," J'onn said.
"All right that's settled. Brainy, have our friend meet me on the roof of CatCo. when I arrive," Kara winked and then headed for the door.
"I shall alert her," he said before he ended the call. Before Kara made it out of the door, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around, she was enveloped by her sister's arms.
"You take care of yourself out there. We have no idea who this crazy masked man is the guys that Eve was talking to," Alex said.
"We have a clue. She called you my Alex. My guess is that she has an "Alex" too. We just need to find out who they are. We'll be seeing each other before you know it," Kara reassured her. They squeezed each other a little tighter before the blonde stepped out the door and took off for National City.
